Pros

I came to Slalom from one of the really-big consulting firms, and couldn't be more happy. This feels like a place that people come when they've realized they love consulting and don't want the work/life-balance associated with the big firms. The people here are phenomenal - experienced, hard-working, and love living life. The work is good, going home every day is great, and working with phenomenal people is the icing on the cake.

Cons

There's an adjustment period coming from a company with hundreds-of-thousands of people to Slalom, but you'll get past it and realize how much better your life is quickly. Great place to be!

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
